18 months?!

Our baby turned 18 months old yesterday. I am definitely in denial of this fact. I am still sitting here in confusion as to what happened to my sweet little baby.


Here are some fun facts about this active little toddler.


She LOVES to watch the Mickey Mouse Club House.


She is finally getting some hair.


She loves the water and is pretty much fearless.



She loves her best buddy, Daddy.



She loves to help Grandma with all of her projects.



And like a true girl, loves to shop!
She also loves books, animals, cousins and all of her friends at Day Care. She says gobs of words and does pretty much any animal sound. She is also obsessed with tractors and "wotion." (Tractor was one of her first words.) She can also count to ten and sing several songs. (She started making up her own words to the Apple, Apple, A A A song.) She enjoys dancing and helping out around the house. She keeps us laughing and constantly reminds us that she is the boss. The other day, she lifted up my shirt and asked, "Poopie, poopie?" I guess since I check her bum all the time, she thought she should check mine.
We love you Alli and your sweet spirit. We are so lucky that you found your way into our lives. We are so excited for the up and coming adventures we will share.
Love, Mom and Dad

Me, blogging, what? I've been tagged a couple of times lately. I chose this one because the other tag had 8 things that I was supposed to come up with. I always take the easy way out.

7 Things I Can Do Well
1- Procrastinate
